Apply a full head of color like an expert

Step 1: Prepare

Step 2: Mix

Screw the cap of the Developer Bottle on well, break off the tip, cover, and shake vigorously for 30 seconds or until mixture is even.

Step 3: Apply to Roots

Keeping the gloves on, apply the product to your dry, unwashed hair using the Developer Bottle as an applicator. Start at your roots, using the bottle to separate the hair section by section.

Step 4: Apply Through Ends

Then, apply the color throughout the length of your hair to the ends. When finished, massage into your hair and ensure it is evenly spread.

Step 5: Wait 25-30 minutes

Allow the color to develop for 25 minutes. (If you have lots of gray hair, or if your hair is particularly resistant to color, you may leave on for up to 30 minutes).

Step 6: Rinse & Condition

When time is up, keep your gloves on and apply a little water to your hair, massage to emulsify the colorant. Then rinse thoroughly until water runs clear. Apply the full amount of conditioner, leave on for 2-3 minutes, and rinse thoroughly.

Step 1: Prepare

Squeeze contents of the Color Cream tube into Developer Bottle.

Step 2: Mix

Screw the cap of the Developer Bottle on well, break off the tip, cover, and shake vigorously for 30 seconds or until mixture is even.

Step 3: Apply to Roots

Keeping the gloves on, apply the product to your dry, unwashed hair using the Developer Bottle as an applicator. Use the brush handle to make 1/4 inch parts and apply the mixture with the bottle.

Step 4: Allow Color to Develop

If you are using shades 1.0 through 9.0 allow the color to develop for 15 minutes. If you are using shades 11.0 or 11.3 allow the color to develop for 20 minutes.

Now, use the brush to spread and distribute the hair color evenly. You can also revisit resistant areas. Then, apply the rest of the mixture on your end. If you are using shades 1.0 through 9.0, you may leave on for up to 10 minutes. If you are using shades 11.0 or 11.3, leave on for only 5 minutes.

Step 6: Rinse & Condition

When time is up, keep your gloves on and apply a little water to your hair, massage to emulsify the colorant. Then, rinse thoroughly until water runs clear. Apply the full amount of conditioner, leave on for 2-3 minutes, and rinse thoroughly.

I love the deep rich color of Garnier Color Sensation 3.26 Deep Burgundy. It is a dark purplish red that looks perfect with my skin tone. It was very easy to use with the brush on system so there wasn't as much of a hair dye mess when we applied. I really love it.

I absolutely love the deep burgundy color. The no drip is awesome, this is the first time I have not dripped at all while coloring my hair. It smells awesome and my hair is so soft.

This color is so bright and vibrant. I love how evenly the dye goes on. Your hair is so shiny and doesn't looked damaged like some box dyes leave your hair looking.

This was just the shade I was looking for! I have naturally dark brown hair and usually go back and forth between black and red hair dyes. I love the purpleish-red tones in this dark dye, they add really pretty highlights to my hair. I really liked that this product had a brush to paint the hair with too. This is my new favorite Garnier hair dye.

Garnier' Deep Burgundy is GORGEOUS! On the box, the color looks like a deep purple color which looked pretty cool, so I decided to try it. I have very dark brown hair and it turned just slightly darker with a redish-purple tint. I love it! It looks great and the dye wasn't hard to apply. It also didn't give me a headache as some dyes do because of their strong smell. I would HIGHLY recommend this product, it's a gorgeous color and looks great! I've gotten so many compliments!

This color is Amazon. It is so vibrant. It has these great undertones that sparkle in the light. It gives you a classic color while still being bold.

The rich pigment is true to color of package and the oils make your hair feel silky smooth. My grey was covered nicely without a discoloring or difference in color. It was easy to apply and directions are simple to understand.

I love the multiple colors that this dye gave me. It shows the deep Burgundy well I also multiple shades of undertones and highlights giving a more natural look. I am very satisfied by this dye and the grey coverage is amazing. It does not take long to apply or set and it does not burn the scalp either.

Great product. Love the color and the amazing feeling it left my hair. Unlike other dyes the ammonia smell is not overwhelming. Definitely a brand that is worth using.

I really liked the Color Sensation line by Garnier. The dye was easy to mix and apply. The fragrance was ok, the smell wasn't too overpowering which happens sometimes with hair color. After rinsing the color out my hair felt a little dry and straw-like, which happens with most box color, but after the conditioner my hair was soft and smooth. As for the color, it was pretty true to the color on the box.
